Bacterial Survival Strategies in Sludge Alkaline Fermentation for Volatile Fatty Acids Production: Study on the Physiological Properties, Temporal Evolution and Spatial Distribution of Bacterial Community
Bioresource technology(2021)
摘要
This study investigated the dynamics of ATP synthase activity, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profile, and temporal evolution and spatial distribution of bacterial community to analyze bacterial survival strategies in sludge alkaline fermentation (SAF) for volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production. The results revealed a significant increase in ATP synthase activity at pH 9 and 10 (p < 0.05), which could contribute to proton entry into cells and benefit bacterial survival. PLFA analysis indicated that the unsaturated fatty acids content increased with the increase of pH. Firmicutes were the dominant microorganisms in the running stage of the pH 10 reactor (35.81-62.34%) and might have been the key microbes that influenced VFAs production. Further analysis of the spatial distribution of microbial community suggested that Firmicutes mainly lived inside flocs during SAF. These findings provide an understanding for bacterial survival strategies in SAF, which could help to develop methods to further improve VFAs yield.
